It is said that a pineapple plant produces around 200 flowers and they combine to form the pine apple fruit.

Osage-Orange:

Osage-orange resembles fruit guava inside and has thorny skin like jackfruit.

Milk Tree:

It is a perennial plant that has an African origin. The other names of milk trees are cathedral cactus, African milk tree, Abyssinian euphorbia, and high chaparral.

Custard-Apple:

Superorder: Magnolianae, Order    Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae – custard apples, Genus: Annona L., Species: Annona reticulata L. – custard apple.

Custard apple falls under the category of aggregate fruit rather than multiple fruit, but still resembles multiple fruit examples in few features.

Soursop:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Magnoliids, Order:   Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae, Genus: Annona, Species: A. muricata

Soursop falls under the category of aggregate fruit rather than multiple fruit, but still resembles multiple fruit examples in few features.

Sugar Apple:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Magnoliids, Order:   Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae, Genus: Annona, Species: A. squamosa.

Sugar apple resembles more like the custard apple.

Cherimoya:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Magnoliids, Order:   Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae, Genus: Annona, Species: A. cherimola

Cherimoya falls under the category of aggregate fruit rather than multiple fruit, but still resembles multiple fruit examples in few features.

Pond Apple:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Magnoliids, Order:   Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae, Genus: Annona, Species: A. glabra. The scientific/ Botanical name/ Binomial Nomenclature name of the pond apple of Annona glabra.

The fruit of pond apple contains 100 or even more light yellowish brown seeds, which are about 1 cm long.

Ylang-Ylang:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Magnoliids, Order:   Magnoliales, Family: Annonaceae, Genus: Cananga, Species: C. odorata

Ylang-Ylang is a shrub, which is very well known for its fragrance, it is used for produce expensive perfumes.

Noni Fruit:

Kingdom: Plantae, Clade:   Tracheophytes, Clade:   Angiosperms, Clade:   Eudicots, Clade:   Asterids, Order:   Gentianales, Family: Rubiaceae, Genus: Morinda, Species: M. citrifolia.

Noni fruit is a well known example of multiple fruits and it has a pungent smell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are multiple fruit examples? How are they formed?

As we just saw in the above lines, Multiple fruits are the structural elements- fruits that are formed from multiple  flowers.

We know that a seed is sown, the shoot system and root system emerges, from the shoots the stem branches come out and then the leaves and flower, from which the fruit emerges from the flower that is produced.

So, what exactly happens here is that the plant produces several flowers, all these flowers mature and form separate fruiting bodies. Now these clusters or groups of fruiting bodies combine all together and produce a single fruit.

Thus, all the flowers combine, to be more clear Multiple means many or several, Multiple flowers combine and produce this fruit and so it is called the Multiple fruit.
